So i need someone to help me to use message_begin()

I want to create special effects, powers, etc using messages but i dont know how to do that :{

example of this message, how to complete it ?

    message_begin(MSG_ ,SVC_TEMPENTITY) //message begin
    write_byte(TE_DLIGHT)
    write_coord() // position ( what ? )
    write_coord() 
    write_coord()
    write_byte(1000.0) // radius in 10's // distance :D
    write_byte(250.0) //colour
    write_byte(0.0)
    write_byte(0.0)
    write_byte() // life in 10's // ( what ? )
    write_byte() // decay rate in 10's // ( what ? )
    message_end()

And also , how to determinate the INDEX ??

Lol is my first time when im try to learning about messages

{
    g_Beam = precache_model( "sprites/zerogxplode4.spr" );

}
public pTest( id )
{
            new I_player_origin[ 3 ], I_end_origin[ 3 ];
            get_user_origin( id, I_player_origin, 1 );
            get_user_origin( id, I_end_origin, 3 );


            message_begin( MSG_BROADCAST, SVC_TEMPENTITY )
            write_byte( 0 )        
            write_coord(I_player_origin[ 0 ] )  
            write_coord(I_player_origin[ 1 ] )
            write_coord(I_player_origin[ 2 ] )
            write_coord(I_end_origin[ 0 ] )  
            write_coord(I_end_origin[ 1 ] )
            write_coord(I_end_origin[ 2 ] )
            write_short( g_Beam )
            write_byte( 1 )
            write_byte( 1 )   
            write_byte( 2 )    
            write_byte( 40 )    
            write_byte( 2 )   
            write_byte( 255 )
            write_byte( 255 )
            write_byte( 255 )
            write_byte( 200 )    
            write_byte( 0 )   

            message_end()


}

You would need to play with TraceLine, and checking if you hit something. There is tutorial about it. Unrelated to message, so if you have some issue make a new thread.
